Sketching Cambridge by Michael Large

An illustrated guide to the landmark buildings of Cambridge

Sketching Cambridge was created by Hills Road Sixth Form student Michael Large for his Extended Project assessment in 2021. The Museum of Cambridge is very grateful to Michael for his permission to make the text and illustrations available on Capturing Cambridge.

Michael writes:

Cambridge is too often seen as nothing but a university city. The town outside the gown is packed full of rich historical, global and personal colour, which I have always wanted to share as a native of the city. Buildings tell the most fascinating stories from our shared histories, so I have chosen 25 buildings and neighbourhoods from across the city to tell the story of Cambridge, my home.
